Getting shredded and fitness overall is a dead market at this point. With skyrocketing obesity trends, and information on diet and exercise becoming worse every year, most people can't achieve this lifestyle. Due to their own misinformed and repeated failure - they usually give up, It would be a better use of their time to watch the latest movie trailer, political candidate updates, or music video. If you look at what trends on youtube, it's those things. Also, are you from a european country? you sound british. Fitness is not a large part of american culture. youtube is an american company.
Because being shredded is unnecessary for the average gym goer who has a full time job and other responsibilities. It’s a temporary short term way of life that cannot be sustained. Unless you are doing a competition and this is literally your profession to make money, why would anyone want to be shredded for a prolonged period of time?

Thank you for filling us in on a topic beaten to death since the 90's, and pretty much taught in any health or nutrition class or the cachexia of elder neglect. Your next video should be the brutal effects of cigarette smoking, or the brutal effects of obesity.
The death of Andreas Munzer (RIP) really opened up this topic back in the day- it's just the cult of bodybuilding is now MAINSTREAM and all the bad things that go with it. That's why I quit competitive bodybuilding you bulk up (get fat)then limit all you calories (anorexia) it's humorous that this guy goes "all the compliments I got" hey dude I got them too the majority of compliments being from men- where women just did not like it at all. Unless your goals are in the right path/cause to quote Brad Pitt from Fight Club "self-improvement is masturbation"
I am absolutely peeled right now and I can relate to everything you have said! Simply walking around trying to get my steps in feels like I have ran 10 marathons. Energy levels are literally non existent. I have two more days left to fight this, god awful feeling. The end is nigh!
Have you noticed how People conflate being muscular + lean with having high testosterone? It’s crazy how often these 2 things get conflated. Being muscular and super low body fat tanks testosterone.
I used to weigh 112kg. 5’11 male. I went down to 68kg with a calorie deficit, then a keto/carnivore diet. So much of what you said resonates with me. My resting heart rate when I sleep dips below 40bpm throughout the night; that’s common for me. I’ve more recently started eating my maintained again and that’s now resolved itself, but your body truly does go into a low power survival mode. My hair started falling out, nails went brittle, brain fog, irritable and while my energy levels were consistent with no spikes, they were consistent levels of bugger-all energy.
Hit the nail on the head here spot on with everything. I did used to enjoy waking up at 4-5am everyday on prep just ready for the day and jump out of bed mentally sharp I still miss that feeling
Happy to see you back Mo, Happy to see you repping the Vanquish, as a Type 1 Diabetic whose into fitness and potentially competing in bodybuilding you have inspired me big time, my goals are to compete in a Tested Bodybuilding Show and be Sponsored by a big fitness brand like Vanquish, Alphalete, or Gymshark, great video btw 🔥🔥🔥🥇
Totally agree with food cravings, when I did a cut (not even this extreme) I had a cheat day, all you can eat carvery, then homemade pizza oven pizza (nice and doughy) then 3-4 bakery type cookies to finish up. The constipation was reaaaaal, never knew how savage it could be
Honesty is good 👍🏼 Sky diving is fun af. Too long since I did that. Balance my friend don’t get too caught on the dopamine bursts easier said than done
i have been 4-6 percent before and everything you said i experienced. i maintained it for 6 months and f'ed my hormones up i think. years later, i still dont have proper fullness cues. always eat alot and big meals but weirdly maintain my frame.
hey Mo amazing video, Im praying for your channel to start getting more traffic your content is next level. I wanted to ask what the app is that youre using to track lifts at 8:27. Thanks xx
Good informative content, you look great, probably gesticulate a little too much, but you're a great storteller! As someone thats thinking about getting into muay thai/juijitsu too, I'd love to know how to balance it out with strength training
Yeah it's hell! I remember having a mini breakdown cos we overstayed a visit to my parents once, and my mum (bless her) suggested seeing what was in the freezer to eat. I ended up borderline kicking the freezer door back shut and just crumbled 😅
This is why I disagree with people who say stuff like “TRT gives no advantages over having naturally high endogenous testosterone levels”. Well for aesthetics it certainly does, as someone on TRT can diet down to extremely low body fat while still having high Testosterone levels, as they are literally injecting it. This is also why I believe people like Jeff Seid and Athlean X are often suspected for being Fake Natties, not due to being huge, but because they are shredded all the time.
Thank you for this piece. I know it might sound kind of crazy but what do you think to get that lean through carnivore diet? Appreciate if you put some context on it.
I respect Mo for touching on the fact that dieting and this lifestyle murders your view on food and your own body. Guys will be so unhappy with their body at 12-15%% bf and think they are fat. Its becoming more prominent in youth from seeing everything on social media. Its really sad to see
holy smokes i really wish i can achieve this but i was also wondering i have health issue called nefrotic syndrome and it is regarding my kidney so i have to be carefull in waht i eat as i am allergic to eggs and need to be on low salt diet or reduce salt completely is it possible to achive ur body type
Awesome video. That is crazy, going through all that, especially no sex drive and no morning wood, I don’t think I can handle that. 😂 That being said, it doesn’t hurt to look ripped or shredded, even if you’re not competition, just for yourself, girls and to look good with your shirt (and clothes) off.
My deficit started with 44 grams of fat towards the end I wouldn’t even hit 25 grams of fat . I would eat most of my fats before the most strenuous and energy consuming tasks.😂
These effects are expected and known for quite some time, which raises the question: how stupid one has to be to compete on bb in these day n age?I assume no one is forcing you to compete
Just dont get lower than 10 percent body fat and these kind of struggles never come.These body building contest are not worth your time.When there are few people around there with elite genetics you cant outperform them on the stage with average genetic.
Also definitely recognize this for sure, didn't get peeled but down to around 11% bf and testosterone at 230 after lots of dieting. Changed the diet and recovered to 800+ 🔥💪😊 The worst definitely is waking up hungry and not being able to go back to sleep 😴
Maybe it's not a great idea to deliberately put your body into starvation mode, for long term health, also hallucinating could lead to mental health problems. And to be honest slowing your heart rate is really really bad
So funny I have all these negative side effects when I’m only 1 week in my diet at 16 percent body fat it’s like my body naturally just wants me to be fat
@tonyadams8812 Said it before and I'll say it again . I've been saying for *ages , men, if you're out in public all day 5/6 days a week with your shirt off because there are hundreds of beautiful women throwing themselves at you I can totally understand wanting to have a six pack. However, if none of the aforementioned applies i.e whenever you're out in public your upper body is *always covered up, there is absolutely no need whatsoever to have a six pack. Sure be lean(ish) but it's not necessary to have a six pack
Uh, no wonder you were hallucinating. You were at 1700 calories per day, that's below your basal metabolic rate. Plus you were doing cardio AND walking and training? You were running on fumes. You were burning through so much food that your body was stealing energy from the future you. Come on man. You're doing a disservice by suggesting that this is necessary to get down to sub 10% bodyfat.
Your problem wasn’t that you’re lean, humans have always been super lean. Your problem was lack of food. If you kept food the same, and increased activity by a sh*t load you would have had the same results, without any of the side effects. Then once you get shredded, you just eat at maintenance. Another alternative is to do a dry fast 1-2 times a week so you are in a super defect just couple times a week, but the rest of the week you’re not, so your hormones don’t tank. The bodybuilding style of getting cut is inferior.
How do you think he and/or most people get lean in the first place? Its by calorie restriction and increased activity. Doing both while already having low levels of body fat affects hormones amongst other things as he clearly said. Staying that low means maintenence calories will be relatively low. Youve never done a cut or been shredded obviously 😅
@@user-pn9un3dc8yyou have the smoothest brain out there 😅 there is a big difference between being lean, and being competition lean you havent done either obviously.

There’s millions of young lads that need to hear this that all chase being shredded, irrespective of what they are told. Common sense isn’t common.

Your videos are so good Mo. You deserve so many more views.

Right. Crazy. And I'm glad you are sane about getting shredded. I'm happy though how great you look.

This is a really good video. I’ve felt mint after stopping cutting
i have been 4-6 percent before and everything you said i experienced. i maintained it for 6 months and f'ed my hormones up i think. years later, i still dont have proper fullness cues. always eat alot and big meals but weirdly maintain my frame.

Thanks for sharing your experience but you need to get the FRICKING COOKBOOK!😂

As long as you stick with staying around 15-20 percent ya good to go IMO
Thank you for this piece. I know it might sound kind of crazy but what do you think to get that lean through carnivore diet? Appreciate if you put some context on it.
Who do you use for your blood work ?
Got that shredded, never had any of these drastic side effects AT ALL, maybe like 20% of his sides
I respect Mo for touching on the fact that dieting and this lifestyle murders your view on food and your own body. Guys will be so unhappy with their body at 12-15%% bf and think they are fat. Its becoming more prominent in youth from seeing everything on social media. Its really sad to see
yo mo can we get a link for the testosterone levels kit you used or the clinic you went too? want to check mine but never know who to use
Yup being at 0% body fat is really not good for you. 10-15% is probably ideal but it also depends on the person cos everyone is different
Any recommendations on where to get bloodwork done?
holy smokes i really wish i can achieve this but i was also wondering i have health issue called nefrotic syndrome and it is regarding my kidney so i have to be carefull in waht i eat as i am allergic to eggs and need to be on low salt diet or reduce salt completely is it possible to achive ur body type
Yea I have zero desire to get under 9% at the lowest
Awesome video. That is crazy, going through all that, especially no sex drive and no morning wood, I don’t think I can handle that. 😂 That being said, it doesn’t hurt to look ripped or shredded, even if you’re not competition, just for yourself, girls and to look good with your shirt (and clothes) off.
you can still look great and have sex drive he was just getting on stage so its a totally different level
I went a little crazy and ended up in jail no sex drive and worse I pushed my teen daughter away
Really wana do an anavar only cycle for 13 weeks
Quality
8-12% for most people? I feel like that’s on the low end
My deficit started with 44 grams of fat towards the end I wouldn’t even hit 25 grams of fat . I would eat most of my fats before the most strenuous and energy consuming tasks.😂
These effects are expected and known for quite some time, which raises the question: how stupid one has to be to compete on bb in these day n age?I assume no one is forcing you to compete
david laid has godlike genetics and is on gear. that's how he stays lean all the time
You can maintain it but you need to do a shit load of cardio as well as lifting weights. Look at MMA fighters.
Just dont get lower than 10 percent body fat and these kind of struggles never come.These body building contest are not worth your time.When there are few people around there with elite genetics you cant outperform them on the stage with average genetic.

Which app do you use to track workouts weights?
Rep count
Maybe it's not a great idea to deliberately put your body into starvation mode, for long term health, also hallucinating could lead to mental health problems. And to be honest slowing your heart rate is really really bad
did you still take finasteride when you were that lean?
I dont think eggs are a source of good fats at all...
So funny I have all these negative side effects when I’m only 1 week in my diet at 16 percent body fat it’s like my body naturally just wants me to be fat
16 body fat isn’t fat at all, lol. You literally have abs at 16%
Side effects of getting shredded naturally are actually worse then being on steroids lol
Carbohydrate manipulation
The dark side of weighing 50kg and looking like a 13 year old boy
Well you couldn't have done it natural so yeh
